Abstract. In this paper we show guidelines for performance testing through BRAIN Candidate Mobility Management Protocol (BCMP). At first, we investigate the main issues of our tests, then we describe briefly the applied TTCN-3 based distributed parallel test environment. We present the structure of the network to be tested and the Mobile Node Emulator, the main functional element of the performance test. We describe the actual test and the results. Finally, we summarize our experiences and proposals.

“…In many cases it is necessary to simplify an existing test port (that has been used for function testing) to be more efficient [5]. For example, many functions of the test port can possibly be unnecessary for background testers, but fast execution is a critical issue.…”

“…Traditionally, most commercially available protocol testing solutions are either strictly hardware based or they are implemented in a low level development environment. However, there have been case studies and benchmarking approaches published investigating the applicability of TTCN-3 for load testing [3], [4], [5], [6] some of them dealing with efficient test component distribution bringing us closer to our topic. G. Din et al in [7] define Work Load Units (WLUs) as the elementary descriptors of user load of a service that is tested.…”

In our work, we investigate efficient usage of TTCN-3 based test components in the emerging field of distributed performance testing of communicating systems. TTCN-3 is a high level formal specification language used for the specification of Abstract Test Suites (ATSs) suitable for various testing purposes mainly in telecommunication systems testing. A TTCN-3 based test system may consist of several distributed Parallel Test Components (PTCs) and can be executed utilizing diverse hardware platforms. Our aim is to aid development of load tests by establishing a framework, while collecting best practices at the same time, that can be used to execute tests over mixed hardware resources efficiently. We, mainly focus on automated and dynamic deployment of load test components implemented purely in TTCN-3. Also, the deployment method takes test system load into account by monitoring the participating workstations' behavior on-line. A potential test method is shown that can be used for testing server applications using low-cost or even legacy hardware as the platform for distributed test components. A basic scenario involving SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) service testing is presented as an example.

“…Even though TTCN-3 was not designed for real-time testing, it has nevertheless been used for specifying real-time tests [DST04]. Even its predecessor, the Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN-2), has been successfully used to control external devices for performance testing [GKS00].…”

Für moderne Verteilte Systeme ist es wichtig, dass sie Echtzeit-Anforderungen einhalten, um z.B. innerhalb einer gegebenen Zeitspanne eine Antwort auf eine Anfrage zu liefern. Testen ist die wichtigste Maßnahme zur Qualitätssicherung von Software-Systemen. Das Echtzeit-Testen von Verteilten Systemen wird jedoch bisher nur unzureichend unterstützt. Diese Dissertation behandelt Sprachen, Werkzeuge und Muster für die Beschreibung von verteilten Echtzeit-Tests. Zur Testbeschreibung wird TIMED-TTCN-3 eingeführt. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine Echtzeit-Erweiterung der standardisierten Testbeschreibungssprache Testing and Test Control Notation version 3 (TTCN-3). Um die Entwicklung von Echtzeit-Tests zu vereinfachen, werden ein Werkzeug und die zugrundeliegenden Übersetzungsregeln vorgestellt, die es ermöglichen, TIMEDTTCN-3 Echtzeit-Testfälle aus Echtzeit-Testzwecken zu generieren. Echtzeit-Testzwecke werden hierzu anhand von Message Sequence Charts (MSCs), die Echtzeit-Eigenschaften enthalten, formalisiert. Um die Spezifikation von Echtzeit-Anforderungen und die Auswertung von Echtzeit-Tests zu vereinheitlichen, werden Realtime Communication patterns (RTC-patterns) eingeführt. Diese Muster bieten wiederverwendbare Lösungen zur Spezifikation von Echtzeit-Tests mit MSC und TIMEDTTCN-3. In diesem Zusammenhang werden außerdem eine Übersicht und eine allgemeine Klassifikation von existierenden Test-Mustern gegeben.
